Gang of Eight: Never Have So Few Told So Many Lies
18 May 2013 12:05 am

For three more weeks, the Senate Judiciary Committee will debate the Border Security, Economic Opportunity and Immigration Modernization Act, S. 744. During the 45 years I’ve studied Washington politics, including 25 years of editorializing on the dreary subject, I can say without hesitation that no more anti-American legislation has ever been introduced.

I’ve watched most of the committee’s hearings and listened to its members as well as its supporters lie-sorry, no softer, politically correct synonym applies-about the bill’s devastating consequences to Americans.
Most know the broad strokes. Eleven million aliens would …

Senate to Rush Immigration Bill Before Unsuspecting Americans Wake Up
11 May 2013 12:05 am

This week Congress will reconvene and the Senate Judiciary Committee will hustle off to mark up the Border Security, Economic Opportunity and Immigration Modernization Act, S. 744. Since Congress left town, the bad news bill grew from 844 to 867-pages.

Critics have spent the congressional lull analyzing the bill’s pitfalls and preparing amendments to submit by 5:00 P.M. Tuesday. Not surprisingly, the committee hasn’t indicated a willingness to delay the mark up even though the bill is now denser and less comprehensible than ever. S. 744 alarmingly includes an average 1.14 …

Immigration Bill Means 33 Million More Workers; 33 Million More People
4 May 2013 12:05 am

During the weeks preceding the formal unveiling of the ludicrously named Border Security, Economic Opportunity and Immigration Modernization Act of 2103, S. 744, the Gang of Eight authors dominated the headlines with their empty promises.

Led by an all too familiar cast of characters that included Senators John McCain, Marco Rubio and Chuck Schumer as the most often quoted hucksters, the Gang deceitfully pledged that its bill would tighten the border as never before. But a less discussed negative: it would also give legal work authorization to 11 million illegal …

Like a Ton of Bricks, Immigration Bill Drops in the Middle of the Night
20 Apr 2013 12:05 am

After working behind closed doors for weeks, the Senate Gang of Eight walked an extra mile to keep the comprehensive immigration reform bill a secret. Normally, legislation of this magnitude that has been surrounded by massive publicity would be introduced mid-day to allow the press to write stories in time to meet their deadlines.
However, the Gang preferred to keep the details under wraps for as long as possible. The 844-page bill, formally titled the “Border Security, Economic Opportunity and Immigration Modernization Act of 2013,” dropped in the middle of the …

Immigrants to March on Washington, Demanding Legal Status
6 Apr 2013 12:05 am

Here we go again. On April 10, thousands of illegal immigrants and their lobbyists will gather on the National Mall to support an immigration reform bill that the Senate is expected to introduce this month.
Every time Congress debates immigration, large crowds gather in various major cities nationwide. Through their sheer numbers, they hope to persuade legislators that they deserve to live legally in the United States.
The mass protest strategy is at least a decade old and has consistently failed. In 2003, the Immigration Freedom Bus Ride began its voyage from …

Out of Touch, RNC Advocates Comprehensive Immigration Reform
23 Mar 2013 12:05 am

The Republican National Committee’s latest report, released March 18 at the National Press Club, offers more evidence that the GOP is out of touch-but not in the way it thinks. According to what the RNC called an “autopsy” of what went wrong in the November 2012 election, it concluded that the party is perceived as comprised of “stuffy old men,” “scary” and needs to change its ways. The first course of action should be-guess what?-passing comprehensive immigration reform! Before anything else is done, said RNC Chairman Reince Priebus, Republicans must …

Gang of Eight in Retreat; Afraid to Introduce Its Amnesty Legislation
16 Mar 2013 12:05 am

The Senate’s notorious Gang of Eight, a small cadre of amnesty advocates who hope to pressure Congress into passing disastrous immigration reform legislation, has developed a new game plan. In January, heady from President Obama’s strong November showing with Latino voters, the gang came out with their guns blazing. Now is the hour, they declared, to grant citizenship to 11 million aliens, issue them work permits and the entire cornucopia of welfare benefits.
The complicit media, egged on by the powerful, well-funded open-borders lobby, declared amnesty a done deal, the final …

For Clueless GOP, No Amnesty Upside; Staggering Costs Certain
2 Mar 2013 12:05 am

On Capitol Hill, events related to the congressional amnesty debate are unfolding at breakneck pace. Last week, the Obama administration authorized the release from federal detention centers of 10,000 criminal aliens. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano hinted at the move in her press conference when she disingenuously bemoaned how sequestration would force her to cut border patrol agents. For President Obama, the aliens’ release represents a two for the price of one. First, Obama is reminding House Republicans that he intends to play tough on the budget negotiations. …

Obama Pushes Amnesty Harder; Americans Not on Board
24 Feb 2013 12:02 am

After President Obama left for a three day Florida golf vacation that included a round with Tiger Woods, the White House announced his latest immigration plan. Two weeks ago in Las Vegas, Obama threatened Congress that if it didn’t introduce legislation to grant permanent residency and eventually citizenship to 11 million illegal aliens by March, he’d launch his own.
Immediately after Obama’s announcement, coyly referred to by his public relations staff as a “back up plan,” Republicans pounced. Since there are ongoing immigration negotiations in the House and Senate, many legislators …

Blacks Point Out Obvious to Obama: For Them, Amnesty Means Fewer Jobs, Lower Wages
23 Feb 2013 12:05 am

If Barack Obama gets his wish for an illegal alien amnesty, he will have set African-American causes back further than any president in recent memory. During a period when black unemployment is brutally high, either legal residency or a full blown amnesty that includes citizenship would authorize an additional 11 million workers to compete with blacks for scarce jobs.
The Census Bureau’s American Community Survey’s latest data found the following U-6 unemployment statistics for U.S.-born blacks: young adults 18-29 with a high school diploma, 41.8 percent; high school drop outs age …

Amnesty Will Create Millions More Democrats; the GOP Wants This?
9 Feb 2013 12:04 am

Not a shred of tangible evidence exists to support the widely made claim that if the GOP supports a broad amnesty, they’ll gain Hispanic voters. Nevertheless, the mainstream media, Congress and the ethnic identity lobby insist that the Republican Party is doomed if it doesn’t immediately jump on the amnesty bandwagon.
The reverse is true. Hispanics are a natural Democratic constituency. According to Census Bureau data, of U.S.-born Hispanic households that have children, 50 percent are headed by unmarried women (compared to 29 percent of U.S.-born whites), 40 percent use one …

Congressional Amnesty Blueprint an Unrealistic Wish List for Radical Democrats
2 Feb 2013 12:04 am

President Obama’s choice of Nevada to announce his all encompassing amnesty program is curious. Nevada’s 10.2 unemployment rate is the nation’s highest. Las Vegas, where Obama spoke, has a 10.4 percent unemployment rate. Nevada unemployment is so acute that more than four and a half years have passed since a single construction worker showed up at the unfinished $4.75 billion Echelon mega resort.
In a statement earlier this month President Obama’s partner in crime, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, said that while he’s encouraged by Nevada’s unemployment drop from last month’s …

Eva Longoria: Washington Power Player?
26 Jan 2013 12:04 am

In a recent story intended to be serious, the Wall Street Journal identified Eva Longoria as a Washington D.C. “power player.” And all this time, I thought the Journal prided itself on serious journalism. Fooled me!
Longoria, former star of the night time soap opera Desperate Housewives is hobnobbing with President Obama and other Washington elites to push for her favorite cause, amnesty for the 11 million aliens living illegally in the United States.
The Texas-born Longoria’s only political credentials that allow her to access Washington’s inner sanctum are the millions she …

Bureau of Labor Statistics, Job Deception Deepens
13 Jan 2013 12:09 am

Last month, the Bureau of Labor Statistics continued its monthly deceit and deception exercise. The December unemployment rate, according to the BLS, is 7.8 percent. In the same report, BLS announced that 155,000 new jobs have been created.
Immediately after the BLS released its statistics, major media outlets spun the falsely calculated data into an optimistic analysis which concluded that the economy is rebounding strongly, a vindication of President Obama’s policies. One headline read that the latest BLS figures, broadly referred to as the U-3 unemployment rate, prove Obama’s “naysayers” have …

Ending Birth Right Citizenship Should be a Top Priority for Congress
12 Jan 2013 12:04 am

Conventional wisdom is often wrong. On Capitol Hill, the political insiders forecast a sweeping amnesty just as soon as the annoying fiscal cliff and gun control distractions are resolved. To hear them tell it, the budget and gun debates, bitter though they are certain to be, will still leave Congress with the energy to fight what could be the most divisive battle of them all: immigration.
In politics as in life, to get you’ve got to give. Since the Democrats want amnesty for each and every one of the 11+ million …
